87 camaro engine starting

Have a 87 Camaro IROC-Z 305 TPI. Last couple days been hard to start. Try to start would just crank second attempt would start following week went on to third attempt then would start. Now car starts up runs for 1-2 secs then stalls start car again starts up and runs. Going to run some sea foam through gas tank see if that helps. Does anyone have idea? Also pump gas once seems to start better, and then car heats up really fast cold to 220 in 2-3 minutes but was also 102 temp outside

Re: 87 camaro engine starting

I have the same exact car and the same issues. It's really frustrating. Tonight it took me a long time to get it to start and stay running, when usually it just takes two or three tries.
